The KZPCM seems to be the most interesting solution, but it costs about USD 300 anew (which is more than the whole system is worth - and it's definitely not worth for just the ZIP drive), and it seems to be impossible to get one used on eBay (at least here in Europe). While it is possible to get a 3940, it has two identical channels, which means to also buy a bunch of adapters for the 8-bit-bus and those cost more than the SCSI adapter and the ZIP drive together. I think I just put the ZIP drive into my "spare parts reposi- tory"... gero. </pre> </blockquote> Funny you should mention.. We have a couple 875 SCSI cards that are Alpha compatible in stock. $50 each.. -- With our best regards, Maurice W. Hilarius Telephone: 01-780-456-9771 Hard Data Ltd.
